I hope they work out for you okay. They look similar to mine but I got mine straight from Muck boots. I believe the Arctic Ranger is made especially for sale by Bass Pro. I would say the down to -70 sounds like a BPS exaggeration. Most of the Muck boots are rated at 20-70°. I believe that's what mine are rated at. The coldest I've ever seen them rated to by Muck is -40 to 60° and that's a much heavier looking boot. Mine have worked well for me with a wool sock bird hunting in ice and snow and winter fishing. My warm weather snake boots somehow breathe so my feet are never damp. Both sets are very comfortable for me. I usually wear my cold weather ones folded down unless I'm going to be standing in water. I think they breathe better.
